This was it. After five months of hard rehab, Josh's body was at last strong enough to attempt something he had not done since slicing through waves of Galarian Slowbro in the Galar Memory. The Josh back then would have longed for the Lightning Sword, ready to charge through and cleave foe after foe with an electric sword so fast and clean that its victims would not realize they were already dead until their upper and lower bodies slid apart.

That was not the Josh that sat on Swift's back today.

The Josh that rode upon the ashen Beast was one who had realized his expertise was not on the front lines. With how much Greyson Connors hounded him that speed alone was not a valid way to do battle, he would instead take on a role in the war that leaned into his strength. Not a Signer. A courier. An Envoy. "Swift, I'm not gonna lie to you, I'm a bit nervous," he said to the Raikou, though it was more like he was speaking to his inner self. Swift calmed Josh's outer fears with a purr of inner confidence that shook him to the bone -- one that Eva Morales would have been able to hear if she walked through the Gym's lobby and to its vast Racing Grounds north of Mauville proper.

The Master of Faster was ready for his first Quick Attack on the legendary Beast.

The more she thinks about it the more clear it becomes that she had never actually visited the Mauville Gym leader at his home gym. The only times she had the pleasure of working with Josh was when they were on assignment or on some grand adventure. A pity, really. She enjoyed seeing her colleagues in their ‘natural’ habitat, and there was no place more natural than a race track for the Master of Faster.

Eva’s stunned awe at the expansive arena is accentuated by the deep rumble of a purr from the ashen legendary. This is also the first time she’d had a chance to see the Raikou in person. Of course, she had heard about the gift through the League grape vine but hadn’t had the time, or pleasure, of meeting them in person.

A long, soft whistle echoed across the space as she approached. The professor placed her hands on her hips and shook her head in disbelief, “Quite the first impression there, Josh,” she smiles in greeting, moving her gaze from around the arena and down to the Raikou.

Eva Morales ' entrance took Josh somewhat by surprise, not expecting her to come as early in the day as she did. "Thanks!" he returned the compliment, though distorted from Swift's purr. "This is why I was a little hesitant to offer you the Quick Badge when we flew together with Rayquaza," he continued, his voice now a lot more understandable with the Raikou not loudly running his motor. "I figured you'd be one to enjoy a Gym Challenge like this. You're welcome to sign up for an unofficial challenge if you'd like, especially since the year's winding down and I'll have to close the aquatic courses until the Spring."

The Gym Leader noticed the green-eyed professor's gaze shift toward his legendary partner. "Funny how role reversals like this can happen, isn't it?" he asked, referring to their fateful Dragon Ascent that marked the only time the Master of Faster became motion sick. "I was about to go for my first Quick Attack run on Swift here. That's what I named him; it's a name that stuck since I was a child and imagined being friends with Raikou. You graciously let me soar the skies on your Patron; it's only right for me to return the same favor. With how fast they were, this should be a piece of cake!" Little did he know that Rayquaza only had one Patron, not two as he thought...

RACING TO THE OTHER SIDE

JOSH X EVA

THE SPIRITS ARE ACTIVE EVEN HERE. Many believe that ghosts are shackled to certain locations due to intense, unresolved emotions or unfinished business. Sometimes such energies are parceled by the person through their adventures, forever intertwined with their presence if not their blood.

As Eva Morales and Josh Devlin talk or race, at some point during their encounter, they may witness phantom scenes of the following:

Vague, spectral scenes of a clash close to Ecruteak, involving the Legendary Beasts, Suicune, Raikou, and Entei against Rocket forces

Scenes from Rocket's invasion of Kanto (any town/city)

and/or a mix between the two, creating an eerie, violent amalgamation of violence

The cacophony of war fills the arena like thunder. However, when the final scene fades, an eerie silence follows. Only Eva Morales, Josh Devlin and their Pokemon would have been able to hear this ghostly experience.

Eva takes a few steps closer, curling her fingers together behind her back where they can fidget without being noticed. She’s nervous, but for some inexplicable reason. Her eyes wander around the gym again while Josh speaks but she nods along in understanding, “I’m sure that’s a very appropriate name - Swift,” she tried the name out in her own voice. It flows nicely off the tongue and the ashen Raikou doesn’t seem to mind it. In fact, the two looked quite comfortable. The strong bond, despite the short time they've spent together, is clear as day.

In a moment of almost panic, her eyes dart back to Josh for a moment, wide in curiosity and criticism. He clearly hasn’t been paying too close attention to what has been going on.

“That may be a bit difficult for me now, Josh,” her fingers behind her back twist painfully together as a distraction, but it still doesn’t compare to what it’s truly like, “They’ve . . . moved on,” it’s a subject she doesn’t care to breech. No one, not even the Project Sapphire therapists, have gotten her to say more than a few words about it and a fairly unconvincing ‘I’m fine’. So, she moves on from the subject entirely.

“I can try my best to keep up with Hades though,” her hand snatches a pokeball from her waist and releases the large Arcanine, “Or . . .” she swings onto their back, buried deep in the burnt orange fur, “You can try and catch us!”

Before the whole sentence is even off her lips, the canine launches forward in a blur of EXTREME SPEED.

Eva's heartwarming compliment toward the ashen Raikou made Josh feel like he was melting. In a good way. "You're one of the first people that has complimented me about that name," the Gym Leader replied. "Andrea Vaneau is, to my recollection, the only other person that's told me they like the name for him." At the same time as Josh basked in that warm and fuzzy feeling, so did the Raikou. It was as though the two were mirror images of one another. The racer's inner strength and resolve fueled his Beast's outer might. If his were to wane, so would the Raikou's. "She's one of the few people that understands that even Pokémon gods are still Pokémon. And even gods need friends."

When Josh brought up the Skylord, it seemed it was a point of pain for the doctor. A point of tremendous pain. The revelation made him wince. "I'm... so sorry. I can't imagine how awful that must have been for you. When I saw freya morningstar at Sootopolis, I had assumed you were joint Avatars. I didn't realize Rayquaza abandoned you."

And with that, any hope of ever soaring the skies on the emerald serpent again. "I haven't really shared this with anyone yet, but... this is why I don't want to be an Avatar anymore. I don't want Swift to change." He had been to the Border and back to speak with kyle lopez about it. He knew the ins and outs of the ashen construct. How to make Swift stronger. Faster. "I know he's not a real Raikou. And I've come to grips with that. But... he's still my Raikou. A reflection of how I've imagined him to be. How I want him to be." He leaned low in the saddle to reach the ashen fur around Swift's cheeks and rubbed it as though it were real. Grey dust blew away from the Raikou from the tailwind growing in strength behind them.

"I don't want to get trapped by a Patron. Like MATIAS SILPH was. Like Laurence Anderson was. Like many of the Rockets we fight against are, I'm sure. The Johtonian legend as I remember it stated that Raikou was the most savage of the Great One Ho-oh's children. The least likely to ally with a human." He was about to ask more about what being an Avatar was like, but refrained when he saw Eva growing increasingly uncomfortable. She would move on not topically, but by force, Josh gasping as he watched her suddenly vault into Hades' fur and take off at blistering speeds. They were gone in a huge dust cloud, the fire-type's legs a familiar blur.

Eva wanted to see what the Raikou's limits were, didn't she?

And she would get to see those limits. "After them, Swift!" With a roar indistinguishable from thunder, the electric feline zoomed forward with a shower of sparks flying from his tail and paws. No matter how many times he experienced the tiger's acceleration, it seemingly became no easier to endure. Skin stretched over his skull as his cheeks slid to the back of his head. Even with all this speed, all he could do was keep pace with the dashing Arcanine.

It was just like his first ride back when the Beast was under kyle lopez 's command: his own Arcanine, mid Extreme Speed, could only keep pace. Taking a deep breath, he steeled himself for a whiplash-inducing speed boost he had not experienced in nearly two years. It would truly push his left arm to its current limits. "Swift, QUICK ATTACK!" the Master of Faster boldly ordered. An ELECTRO BALL formed from the tiger's crown, hurtling forward on a trajectory well wide of the Arcanine.

In a flash of yellow and white, Champion and legendary Pokémon passed it.

Eva disagrees with more of Josh’s musing than he might expect. The gods may be pokemon, but they are not the average pokemon. Humans are not their friends. Humans, mortals, are but a blink of the eye in the lifespan of an eons old creature. They bind with them out of necessity, not because they seek companionship. Eva said it many times out loud and was not fooled by her partnership with Rayquaza. She knew one day it would end - either by her death or her fulfillment of what they needed her for. She served her purpose and they moved on like they have done for centuries, perhaps even millenia.

The time for peace was over. They needed something more, someone more. Eva just wasn’t enough.

It just so happens that Eva is a more emotional being and that separation left her hollow. It’s not a benign process, having your soul tethered to something so powerful and ever-present. When they tear themselves away it shatters you. Without the constant hum of their presence, she’s never felt more alone in her life. The gods aren’t the ones that change, you are.

She’s accepted it, but she hasn’t moved past it. She mourns the loss but acknowledges its necessity. She’s yet to find her purpose now. Everything since has felt so dull and insignificant, like she's wading through water rather than air. She’s constantly exhausted and nothing tastes as sweet as it once did. The sky doesn’t seem as blue anymore. Even the clarity of her most resilient emotions, love and hope, seem foggy and out of reach. But as she has before, she will persevere. Duty comes before grief. Always.

“Whoa!” Eva exclaims, watching the ashen Raikou and rider fly past them in a blur. At their current EXTREME SPEED there is no way they are going to catch them or even keep up!

She blinks back tears from the air ripping at her eyes, and the world around her glitches. She takes pause, gripping the Arcanine’s fur tighter. Blinks again. And one more time the track seems to shift, an optical illusion maybe?

Again, she blinks, and this time an amethyst and rust stained world swallows them whole. The Arcanine howls in surprise as they fall between worlds. Or do they fall through time first?

The track is gone. Mauville is gone. The familiar landscape of Pallet Town stretches out around her. A pokecenter crumbles in the aftermath of her battle against Cillian Quinn and THEO BECKETT and the Professor’s lab burns bright in the distance. A scream echoes across the wide open road when Rocket grunts forcibly throw a PokeMart keeper, battered and bloody, out of their store just before they raid it. His protests are cut short by the fatal swipe of a Scyther’s scythe.

“No. No no no no no no no,” she can’t be back here. Anywhere, anytime but here.

“JOSH!” she screams, but her voice merely echoes off into nothing, choked out by the altered reality.

The Beast's gait was as rapid as a Raichu's, the electric tiger's back leaving Josh in freefall in one split second before catching him in the next. The wind pushed the back of Swift's storm cloud so far behind him that it nearly touched his tail. The vigor with which the Gym Leader was bounced about reminded him of how much Rayquaza's scaly body shook when they soared to the heavens. It was a similar kind of energy that propelled the two to speeds that were difficult to comprehend, let alone react to.

After only seconds of the QUICK ATTACK run, Josh could feel his left arm thumping again. It didn't feel like it was on fire, though it ached as though it were stretched uncomfortably. "Abort, Swift!" he commanded, the Raikou slowing down to a still blistering, but more manageable, pace. No sooner than did the electric Beast hit the brakes did a wave of inverted colors pass over them. He remembered this feeling well, having been there with illeana reyes before. He had rescued Gym Trainer ERON IUNIS from this place. It felt like Giratina's DISTORTION WORLD.

Yet this time, it was vastly different.

Instead of a myriad of floating pieces of ground warped by clashing fields of gravity, he saw a Pokémon Center and Pokémon Lab in what was once a picturesque, rural town. A town he had visited when he was a child as part of meeting with its Professor for a Pokémon class. This was Pallet Town. In these black-and-white images, he witnessed the brutality of Monroe's Rocket in action, watching a monochrome Eva Morales do battle against the two Underbosses. The slash of a murderous scythe across the now-beheaded shopkeep drew him to want to intervene.

By the time he could get too close, he saw Eva Morales making screaming motions in various directions, but could not hear her. Did the Distortion World warp the senses, too? This didn't happen the last time he was here. Nonetheless, he wouldn't leave the scientist be. "Eva!" the Gym Leader shouted back, spurring Swift in her direction -- and the direction of the violence before her. With long and powerful strides, the duo closed the gap in a display that would easily make him worthy of the title "Master of Faster".

There’s no intervening in this world, they are simply specters forced to relive the carnage forced upon them by the ghosts of war. They are invisible apparitions, neither here nor there. Their screams are whispers and their actions are just a gust of the wind.

Fear grips at her chest, for in the familiar gruesome scene, she can’t help but see history, a history and seems doomed to repeat itself no matter how hard she tries to keep that from happening. She sees Pallet Town in the ruins of Petalburg. It always starts with one small city then their poison leeches across the land. One turns to two then to three then there are too many to count, too many to defend and take back.

“Josh,” she breathes out in relief when she spies the ashen Riakou and its rider bound towards them at record speed.

“We need to leave. Now,” she wouldn’t be trapped here, she wouldn’t let it tear her soul apart for a second time. The question is, how do they get out? They seemed to simply fall into the world while racing. Is all they had to do run?

Swift's gallop was painfully rapid; having not eased himself into the QUICK ATTACK like his medical staff suggested he do, his left arm began to thump. Had he overstressed it by riding at speeds humans were not designed to withstand? When he was sandwiched between the doctor and the emerald serpent's majestic scales, he had a specialized flight suit protecting him. That was not the case here; other than wearing his racing helmet, he was in normal attire. Attire that risked being torn to shreds from the speed-driven wind surrounding the Beast.

It didn't matter to Josh; Eva looked stressed and in need of help. Even in the Reverse World, memories of the original remained. Traumatic memories. Extreme violence surrounded them all; Pallet's strongest trainers, professors, Pokémon, and perhaps even a Kanto League official or two, all murdered in brutal ways. It was hard to look at.

"This is... what you saw before I came to Hoenn, wasn't it?" Josh asked his friend. "I remember seeing photographs of Celadon, Saffron, and Cerulean on TV seven or eight years ago. But they don't compare to this." Indeed, they needed to leave... but how? They were surrounded by water on Pallet's south shore, and the war raging in front of them.

As a storm brewed up above, the Gym Leader had an idea. "Swift might be our only hope to get out of here," he suggested, pointing at the low, billowing, lightning-filled clouds rolling in.

Phantoms. It’s simply the ghosts of war come back to haunt them. It’s a replay of the past, something already etched in stone. She can’t change what has already been written - she can only relive it. Over and over again. Learn from it, prevent the same suffering from befalling another region and another group of people she loves.

“It is - was - my home. This was where I grew up,” and what it once was will always just be a memory. It’s unrecognizable now, “I remember this day well. I remember fighting in the Pokecenter, destroying it so Rocket couldn’t have it because there was no hope of victory. Having to abandon my home so they didn’t follow me to my family. I fled to a camp in Celadon because Viridian was overrun as well.”

No hope. They leeched the hope from the region like a Golbat’s fangs sunk deep into their prey.

Her eyes looked up at the looming thunder cloud. That was not here that day.

“Alright,” she places her trust in Josh’s instincts, “Lead the way, Swift,” she spurs the Arcanine forward when prompted to follow the ashen Raikou as best they could.

The images they saw of Pallet Town being overrun were in the past. Kanto had been healing, but the process was slow... and the region was still under Monroe's iron fist. Now he knew why she had turned so frightened and urged him to leave. "I hope your family made it out," was all he said as the Arcanine and Raikou galloped alongside one another, leaving Pallet Town behind. "I couldn't imagine losing my home. Even Goldenrod, though my family doesn't live there anymore. Now it makes sense why you were so distraught." But why? Why now would these images flash before their eyes?

The thundercloud crept lower and lower into the sky, lightning bolts illuminating the almost night-like backdrop. "I don't know if I shared this with you, but under the right conditions, Swift can fly. And unless you've got a Pokémon that can fly, the only way we're getting out of here is with Swift together. Hop on." Provided Eva didn't supply her own flying Pokémon that could handle the high winds of a thunderstorm, Josh would slow the Beast to a stop so he could make room for the Head Professor to be sandwiched between himself and Swift's billowing thundercloud. Just like she did to Josh when she was an Avatar.

Regardless of how they traveled, Ecruteak's skyline would come into view. Only this time, with two towers that stretched to the heavens, and not one...

“F-fly?! she barks in surprise, looking about as dumbfounded as the idea sounds. A flying Raikou? If she didn’t trust Josh so much, she would have questioned the logic right then and there instead of considering it for only a moment before sliding off of her Arcanine. She returns her loyal companion before climbing up on top of the ashen Raikou, sandwiched between Josh and its billowing mane.

Eva squeezes tight and ducks low to shelter herself from the blistering winds of the storm and the speed at which they took off. Her body tensed, jerking and shrinking under the sudden explosion of g-forces. Just as Josh promised, they fly.

She does manage to peek up over the Raikou’s wide head. Instead of blistering winds there’s . . well . . . nothing? For how fast they are going it should feel more chaotic than this. Perhaps it’s another trick of the distortion world.

The clouds roll and tumble around them, the gray backdrop of the storm shifts. Spires seem to appear in the distance, upside down at first. Without spinning themselves, the world around them turns as if they are the axis. The spires rotate 180 degrees until they are upright and they materialize into the towers in Ecruteak, intact and stable.

“Are we in . . . Johto?” she asks above the roar of the ‘wind’.

Eva's presence on Swift's natural thundercloud saddle was heartwarming for the Champion. "Takes you back, doesn't it?" he asked the Head Scientist. "Hold on tight, Eva! This is gonna get fast!" A flash of lightning and the sound of crashing thunder accompanied a gait even more rapid than the Arcanine's. With every flex of the big cat's back, his natural saddle in the form of his thundercloud dropped beneath the two riders, only for it to catch them on the way up. When it felt like the tiger shouldn't be speeding up anymore, he kept going. Even the cheeks of Josh's face were pushed back toward his ears. "Jump, Swift!"

And jump he did, springing high enough to touch the low-level cloud. The Beast's cloud merged with the natural one, a tingling sensation running through the Champion with every flash of cloud-to-cloud lightning within. The sense of power was incredible, the euphoria like he experienced when Eva Morales 's flight suit interlocked him with Rayquaza's emerald scales, effectively strapping him to the legendary creature. With outstretched legs the Beast flew west.

"We are," Josh answered, peering over his ashen partner's side. "But it looks... different. There are two towers, not one." The Brass Tower and the Tin Tower both stand. Cherrygrove and Violet Cities passed beneath them in a flash. While they were going incredibly fast, the ride felt buttery smooth like a Metagross. Somehow, they could still communicate with one another even with the wind howling in their faces.

Swift rounded the cloud's corner to give both of them a wonderful view of Goldenrod and Ecruteak Cities. The streets of the normally bustling city were empty other than a few thugs. While he could not recognize any of their builds or faces, he did recognize the black Rocket uniforms. "This... was my home before I moved to Hoenn," Josh told his half of the story. A story that he now realized the relationship between his and Eva's. How linked they were in their battles against Rocket. They once quarreled over how Rocket should be handled; now, after receiving the blessing of the Great One's wisdom, their disagreements were few and far between. "When Goldenrod was occupied by Rocket, I was separated from my family. I worked together with what remained of the police department to rescue them. It was one of the scariest moments of my life."

What he wasn't aware of was how much of Rocket's forces were assembled to the north.

As Josh guided the flying Raikou northward, he saw three familiar figures surrounding the Brass Tower. The Johtonian deities Raikou, Entei, and Suicune, holding off legions of Rocket soldiers with the speed of lightning, the passion of magma, and the compassion of water and ice. On the outside, Josh knew it was a flashback to the Kanto War. His inner self brimmed with worry, a powerful purr rattling both Josh and Eva. "I'm going down to help them. Hold on tight!" Electricity crackled around the Beast's faceplate, whiskers, and fangs as his body turned into a living lightning bolt, ready to strike. Though both riders would be protected from the elements, there was little telling just how fast their landing would be.
